Staffing Process

Abstract

Purpose: The paper discusses the importance of staffing process to the companies in terms of recruiting, selection, orientation, socializing and retention techniques. To this end, the paper analyses two roles, particularly Financial Risk Specialist and Industrial Production Manager, to highlight the differences in the staffing process based on job criteria and organizational demands.  

Methodology: This research used a qualitative descriptive approach, using human resource management theories, staffing ideas, and academic sources to analyze staffing practices for both jobs.

Findings: The findings suggest that different job types require different staffing processes and techniques to achieve person-job fit, employee performance and organizational productivity. The study also found that external recruitment strategies are more effective for very specialized positions with specific technical competencies, while internal recruitment strategies are more effective for managerial positions requiring organizational experience and established leadership skills.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study recommends that organizations look further into the strategies used to recruit and retain employees, according to the position descriptions and requirements, as it will boost the efficiency of any recruitment processes, ensuring that employees are well positioned.
